. . . you know you could've been better, you were a bit loosey goosey here & there, but you really weren't terrible - and the scale was really mean to you?
So, time to batten down the hatches. Too many goals that to be met. So stop with tb... Read more

Everyword is a word game I play on my kindle. You are given letters you make words out of & you must get the longest word (or 2 or 3) before you can move on to the next level - or you can choose to forfeit & start a new game. There are 10 levels... Read more

My tennis elbow has flared up. Big time. Like it hurts to lift a glass of water. It rarely really bothers me these days & hasn't been this bad in over a decade. Maybe too many triceps dips while getting back into exercising after being sick.

I wrote a wrote a whole blog that got eaten . . . you know how that goes.
We have a pretty simple menu for tonight:
Bison dogs (very tasty, much lower fat than regular hot dogs) - 2 on 1 roll for me
Baked sweet potato fries

I ran for yogurt yesterday. It was a little disappointing - not the yogurt itself, but the self serve aspect. There are 2 size cups - naturally I chose the smaller one, but it was still large. You serve yourself, they weigh it & you pay by the o... Read more

As often happens, being sick turned out to be a blessing in disguise - it pointed me in the right direction. The scale has been kind lately. Of course, back in December, with the newest WW plan unveiled, the scale was kind too . . . until it was... Read more

And it's not my first time at the rodeo ... Read more

Not really. Sure, you've got to eat less, move more, eat more freggies . . . yadda yadda. Most of us know this stuff, but we still struggle.
Why?
Because when all is said & done, weight loss is really about self love. About loving ours... Read more

No, my day yesterday wasn't very eventful; I have a lot of events in the next quarter that will motivate me to stay on my healthy journey.
I'm very excited by the next one: DH has a conference to go to in VA in a month (just found out about... Read more

Those who've read my blog for a while may have realized my weakness for nutrition bars: it's notthst I actually eat a lot of them - maybe 2-3 a week, maybe less some weeks - but I feel compelled to try them all! The ones I consider at least semi... Read more

So this morning I decided to practice the STOP method, but I added in my own little twist: I stopped every 3 bites & thought about something I was grateful for. I must say I felt pretty full by the end!
I got The Joy Fit Club out of the lib... Read more

There is a side benefit to reducing tbe size of my oatmeal serving: it makes the serving size of tbe dark chocolate chips (1 tbsp) seem much larger, as well as the PB serving (2 tsp). Of course I'd like the full 1/2 cup serving, but since it's a... Read more

It's been pouring most of the day; got my run in on tbe treadmill this morn... Read more
